The grounds at Valle Escondido are beautiful. The food and service were excellent. Loved the farm to table concept and the eco-friendliness of hotel. Rooms are simple but clean and had everything we needed. Views and sunset from the restaurant/bar area were outstanding.

The property is set in a beautiful location. The restaurant on the property was good, but it took a while for the food to arrive. Our biggest complaint for the property was that when we went to the bed, we found our bed towards the foot to be wet, and had a musty smell. It seems there might have been some leak in the room. By the time we realized the bed was wet, the office had already closed, so we couldn’t get help. We wanted to love the property because it is set in a beautiful location and we loved the idea of farm to table meal. Also, the night walk was great. Unfortunately, the wet bed and musty smelling towels in the bathroom makes it unlikely that we would return.

In touch with nature

Location is superb for vistas and wonderful dining experiences. Lodging and grounds were comfortable. Birding from the balcony was also a unique experience. Coatimundi and agouti were seen about the property. Night walk and nearby Butterfly Gardens provided such interesting and surprising facts about the cloud forest.

Might need a car to get into town, but a great hotel. Food on site was amazing and affordable. Best pizza in Costa Rica. The hiking trails were a nice afternoon and morning adventure. Would recommend this place to anyone. Great view of the sunset (unfortunately some clouds blocked the full view during our stay).

Lovely place to stay with great views and trails to walk away from the accommodation area. Lots of birds and butterflies to see. Good breakfast - especially the yogurt and home made granola. Evening meals also good- with added bonus of local beer on tap. Staff friendly and helpful.

Wonderful stay here. They have beautiful sustainable farm values that were a wonderful bonus to the stay. We stayed two nights here. The sunset views and rainbow sitings were magical. Staff is so kind and accommodating. Everyone was very pleasant to interact with. Drive to selvatura was about 25 min away.

A Welcoming Model of Ecotourism and Ideal Hotel

ponds. A variety of guided tours were also available. The hotel’s dedication to sustainability was evident at every turn—from its energy-saving initiatives to its thriving permaculture farm, where fresh ingredients make their way to the restaurant’s kitchen. Speaking of food, every meal we enjoyed at their farm-to-table restaurant was outstanding. The complimentary breakfast was delicious, providing a perfect start to our adventures. The restaurant’s offerings were consistently fresh and flavorful, featuring ingredients sourced directly from the farm. With a dedicated play area and the availability of children’s bicycles, toys, and a variety of games for all ages, families will find Valle Escondido to be an absolute dream. Valle Escondido is more than just a place to stay—it’s an experience that fosters a deep connection with nature. Whether you're an eco-conscious traveler, a family seeking adventure, or someone looking for peace and beauty, this hotel is a must-visit. I left feeling inspired and already planning our next visit. If you want an authentic, sustainable, and truly unforgettable stay in Costa Rica, I highly recommend Valle Escondido.
